THERE were red faces at one of Britain’s leading estate agents this week after it was revealed phone numbers on a sale board for the Deganwy Castle Hotel are wrong.

The landmark hotel closed in January, and it has been for sale with the 155-year-old Savills Estate Agents since March.

The 31-bedroom hotel has a price tag of £1m. It was a popular venue for weddings and parties, and was the hub of Deganwy life, with a raft of local clubs such as Rotary, Lions, Round Table, Masons and Probus using its rooms for meetings.

Deganwy councillor Jason Weyman spotted a month ago that the phone numbers on the ‘for sale’ board were wrong, and reported it to Savills.

Cllr Weyman said: “I tried both numbers but one goes to a lady in Manchester who has never heard of Savills and the other is a fax machine.

“It’s careless that the board is wrong, especially after I phoned to tell them of the problem. They are not trying their best. I’d have thought the problem would have been resolved by now.”

William Ward, whose name is on the Savills sales board, told the Weekly News: “We will be putting rockets up the sales board staff to correct it.”

He revealed there has been plenty of interest in the hotel, but admitted it was a hard property to sell.

“A lot of people have said after viewings that it’s a beautiful location but there’s a lot of work needed on the hotel,” he said.

“Developers have also been interested but some think the plot is quite small. It’s also difficult to do things when part of the hotel is Grade II listed.

“As there is plenty of bed space in Llandudno already it does put people off.”

However, Mr Ward added more positively: “There is still interest in the hotel as it is in a great spot so hopefully it will sell soon.”
